-Hat.Is there a way of maneuver this cart?

Hat: The transportation units are in autopilot by default.They use a query system to carry personnel around the facility.
You must be a citizen and have a valid ID to activate them.
If you need more information please refer them to the proper authorities when you turn yourselves in, due process.

Sivex inspects the crate with disks...

-Hmmm....This disk proclaims to contain a "Salisbury type Steak" ....and that the chapignons are 100% non generic

Johan: Whoa!*Ack* Y-you can read them?

-Yeah..I think it was Oz.

Johan:Oz?,Well we call them poompicks. "If they aren't broken they aren't rotten",the food on those things are always fresh no matter were you find them.
Sadly you only find them in places like this....Pass me one ,if this place is gonna be my tomb i want a final meal

Hat:This is considered thievery of the facility property

Johan: *Tsss*Shut your trap ugly...

Huh. We call those discs "Rations." They were made to be fresh as long as they're sealed so that soldiers would have access to them no matter how long they've been sitting there. Grab a few of them.

Other than that, since we don't have a "Citizen ID card," we can't use the car, so let's just head north.

The box is made of some sort of fabric.Above the box sivex finds a card with his name on it,it reads:"good luck" Inside the box there's a lot of small bags in metallic color,small tubes and very small boxes...

Johan:What is that?

-What we are looking for.It bears the sigil of the healers,the medicals.

Johan:What about the card?.Was this left by your allies?

-I do not know that.

Triple Antibiotic Ointment,Opsite Wound Dressing, Nylon Suture,Compressed Gauze,Povidone-Iodine.... Sivex doesn't recognize any of the contents of the box...
>>
No. 623788 ID: ea0ad9

Ah, the First Aid Kit, as made for Medics. This is, indeed, what we needed. Strange, though, that the lights were suddenly activated, and a card left to suggest somebody knew we were here.

Sivex checks the doors in the area... The door from the entrance looks confined between the walls,Sivex wonders how people could close or open the door. The door near the "security" sign has a flashing green light when Sivex gets near it,Johan comments that those are called "live doors" they open when the "eye" flashes and that the people near the "grove" beam fears them. The door with the Medicals symbol is closed,some strange devices can be seen behind the stained glass door...the door looks fragile.

Sivex tries his best to treat Johan wounds,sadly he doesn't know exactly how.After several tries he manages understand the use of a package labeled "plastic biomeat" and another called "synthetic skin" . With reluctance Johan allows Sivex to put the strange remedies into his injures. The substances meld into Johan's wound! Johan is not wounded and bleeding anymore!,he is still somewhat weak from the blood loss though. Johan takes the box before Sivex waste the ointments and pills on making a more sigil of the healers on his face and the floor to thank the tree. Johan says he knows someone back on the his "ship" that may know how to use the contents of the box.

Hat looks happy!

Johan:Look at his...face? I think you broke it sprog.

-Nonsense Hat has been illuminated by tree!

Johan:That stick of yours brings madness.

Hat takes the branch from Sivex!

Hat: Central relay connection.

This unit designation is provisional security drone.

Unit provisional name:Hat

Serial number::78525436 manufactured by Everhart life forms.

Current status of the facility :Main systems in permanent lockdown.Presumed damaged

Major damage to the facility.

Requesting reinforcement or the upgrade of this unit with the purpose of surveying the area.


Hat's speech is emotionless as always but you can feel Hat's great relief from hearing you...

No. 629084 ID: bd8b82

to hat, reinforcement is unfortunately impossible from here, if you find more drones in storage you may activate them at your discretion. an upgrade does sound like it could work though, return us to sivex, got on the floor and then stand by.

sivex, feed the other tube to the device to open it. and ask johan to stand back. if he questions what is going on tell him you did this before. like we did with tosigo but this give the power to hat.
>>
No. 629118 ID: ea0ad9

We have lost communications with all of the zones, you are our first contact inside of one. It is quite likely the others are in a similar state of disrepair; perhaps by gathering the surviving drones and persons from each location, we can work together at rebuilding, but reinforcements itself is currently out of the question.

For the time being, please escort the rogue, Sivex, away from objects he can potentially damage further, so we may finish our current task with minimal destruction.
>>
No. 629144 ID: f75cf9

Hi Hat! Don't suppose you can tell us what this place was, back in the day?

Anyway whatever it was we're pretty sure all the staff, or citizens, or whatever are gone. Not sure how long it's been but all indications are to a pretty long time.

Upgrading you still sounds good but your original directive may be irrelevant now.

Hat returns from the room with a battered ballistic shield and a dirty security armor...

Johan hey look I was-

Hat:Please put this security armor and use this ballistic shield,it will help to protect your weak physical being as we escort you out of the facility.If you have problems with your fragile psyche I will provide you with the medicaments contained in your medical kit.


-What did you bring me?

Hat: Nothing. You are banned by the Central Relay from using any objects in the facility.

-You are a vinegar faced poppy face.

>Johan:With who are you talking?!.Sprog did that wand created a Hellion?!This is how are they made?!
Inform Johan that no, she(?) is not a Helion, "The Tree of a Thousand Voices"--What Hat calls "Central Relay"--does not make those. What we create is advanced constructions from more basic forms--Often, people from semi-people or machines.

Drone, with your upgrade, you will need a name fitting a singular unit.
>78525436 manufactured by Everhart life forms.
I'm thinking Heather Seveitaivoo Everhart. Heather being a more standardized name based on Sivex's "Hat" name, Sev-Eit-Aiv-Oo from the first four numbers of your serial number, and Everhart indicating your manufacturer.
>Wait, Siv is banned from using stuff? Why? ...Is it because he's a total derp?
That would be my doing:
>Voice ea0ad9 of Central Relay: For the time being, please escort the rogue, Sivex, away from objects he can potentially damage further [>>629118]
With Sivex's... Natural disposition and curiosity, he'd be more likely to destroy things that would work in his favor, than to use them as they are intended to be used.

Heather, it is worth noting that devices Sivex has been... "Educated" in the use of include: Batteries, bags, and Explosives. The other segments of this Relay may recognize other self-educated items, and any such item should be considered "Safe" for his use. Sivex does know well enough to not withdraw items from a bag without instruction.

>>
No. 630876 ID: f75cf9

>>630813
So it's because he's a total derp then. Cool.

HatHeather, it's probably fine to give Siv armor, if there's any that would actually fit him.

On the other hand I don't know that I'd trust him with explosives. He knows how to use them, but I don't think he's quire figured out when.

No. 630889 ID: bd8b82

You feel a pang of resentment from Heather aimed at Tosigo the feeling conjures a word into your synapses it spells: bitch

Nelis:I still don't like this Hellion moniker

Peguin:Believe me young Nelis is for the best at the moment.

-Why you all messing with my hat? My hat knows the way to the upper level .The tree wants us to reunite so you must go down a level.

Johan Easy said than done,we are heading north were the ambush happened something probably is waiting for us there.But the map I saw and the sprog's hellion confirm that there may be a way up there.

Peguin:Hmmm...Maybe I could suggest that you wait there for us perhaps?

Nelis:I agree just Heather looks unharmed in your group at the very least I could fly ahead and see if it any danger or support your group.
